Overview
The Portland Group™ The Portland Group develops and sells high performance, production quality compilers and software development tools for the high performance parallel computing market. PGI compilers use global optimization, vectorization, inter-procedural analysis, profile feedback, and micro-architecture-specific code generation to extract optimal performance from each AMD64 processor core. PGI compilers and tools enable maximum overall performance on multi-core AMD64 processors through auto-parallelization and OpenMP directive-based parallel programming. PGI tools simplify and accelerate development and tuning of cluster applications with full native support for MPI debugging and profiling, including hybrid MPI/OpenMP debugging for clusters of multi-core processors.

  • PGI and AMD agree to collaborate on accelerator compilers

    Goal is to enable PGI® Fortran and C compilers to generate code directly for AMD FireStream boards and to generate heterogeneous x64+GPU executables that automatically use AMD FireStream products if present in a system.

    For independent software vendors (ISVs), PGI provides the earliest access to new performance features of AMD multi-core processors. PGI compilers and the people behind them together provide expertise that will bridge the gap between the most advanced capabilities of AMD multi-core, multi-processor platforms and your multi-million line production applications.

    For high-performance computing (HPC) end-users in environments where mobile, desktop and HPC systems are increasingly based on x64 processors, PGI enables a uniform laptop-to-teraflop HPC development environment. HPC users working with both Windows® and Linux® systems at the client and cluster levels can use PGI compilers to maximize developer productivity on laptops and desktops and simplify deployment of production applications on HPC systems.

    For computer system manufacturers and integrators (SIs), PGI delivers leading performance on industry-standard and HPC procurement benchmarks and provides a key component of complete integrated solutions targeted at performance-sensitive developers and HPC customers.

    From ISVs to SIs, PGI delivers comprehensive support for multi-core distributed and shared memory systems using advance optimizations, automatic parallelization, OpenMP and MPI parallelization, and integrated graphical OpenMP and MPI debugging and profiling tools. PGI offers one of the best solutions for HPC developers migrating MPI and OpenMP applications to run effectively on clusters of AMD multi-core processor and for general-purpose software developers adapting their serial legacy applications to effectively use multiple cores.

    PGI offers compilers and tools for the following high-level languages:

    • ANSI C99 with K&R and GNU/gcc extensions
    • ANSI/ISO C++ with GNU/g++ extensions
    • Fortran 95 with selected F2003 extensions
    • High Performance Fortran (HPF)
    • FORTRAN 77
